Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices lemon slices
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Zest the lemon and extract the juice. In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the sea bass fillets into the prepared baking dish. Using a brush or spoon, evenly coat each fillet with the lemon and herb mixture.
Place two lemon slices on top of each fillet for added flavor and presentation.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil to keep the fillets moist while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
